Things to do in Kentucky, United States: The Best Shopping

July 26, 2021 Phylicia Berquist

Famous for Bourbon Country and horse farms, civil war battlefields and beautiful natural parks, Kentucky offers a delightful mix of experiences. You might begin in Lexington, where the 1200-acre Kentucky Horse Park is a popular attraction. The university adds exciting sports, impressive art and a vibrant student/professor population to the city. Louisville is similar, where renowned Churchill Downs hosts the annual Kentucky Derby and the Belle of Louisville, the nation’s oldest steam-driven river paddlewheeler, hosts enchanting lunch and dinner cruises along the beautiful Ohio River. Next, head south to visit Mammoth Cave National Park for a day of touring the cave (the world’s longest known cave), hiking and canoeing on the Green River. Paducah, Berea, Bowling Green – so many places to explore and enjoy!

Irish Acres Gallery of Antiques

Step back in time and experience the refined southern hospitality of this wonderful facility and incredible staff. The food is incredible, the decor you have to stare at for 10 minutes just to take it all in! It must take thousands of hours to decorate and it’s truly a southern gem. Warm happy people run this and you will make great new friends just being here. The happiness and hospitality is a good example for all of us. I have been to few places like this and I travel extensively. When in town we always go and enjoy every minute.

Wakefield-Scearce Galleries

A beautifully decorated, historic former girls’ school, Wakefield Scearce is filled with English antiques. At Christmas, each of the many rooms is decorated with a different theme. There is a good restaurant there as well.

What a fun shop! The antiques are primarily mid-century Modern. They are staged to perfection. There are treasures of all price ranges.

Kentucky Artisan Center at Berea

Reviewed By LovesToTravel31 - Rocky River, United States

This is by far the best “rest area” ever. About 1/2 mile off I-75 south of Lexington. It’s exceptionally clean, with a staffed information desk, nice bathrooms, and a great selection of local arts and craft items for sale. There’s also a cafe that offers very reasonably priced hot meals, as well as snacks and drinks, with both indoor and outdoor seating. We’ll definitely stop here again the next time we’re driving through.
